Magic: The Gathering -- The Shadow Mage

In 1995, Acclaim and Valiant adapted the sprawling fantasy world of Magic: The Gathering into a four-issue miniseries, The Shadow Mage. Written by Jeff Gomez and illustrated by Val Mayerik, the story follows a young mage’s journey through the multiverse of Dominaria, exploring the game’s iconic magic and conflict. Though brief, the series stands as one of the earliest comic interpretations of the beloved trading card game, offering fans a glimpse of its rich lore in sequential art.
